One number is 4 times as large as another. The sum of their reciprocals is ½. What is the sum of the numbers? i need asap answer pl

The sum of the two numbers is 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we write a system of equations.

One number is 4 times larger than the other.

y = 4x

The sum of their reciprocals is 1/2

1/x + 1/y = 1/2

Substitute

1/x + 1/4x = 1/2

1 + 1/4 = 1/2x

x = 2.5

Solve for other number

y = 4(2.5)

y = 10

The inverse of x is 2/5 or 4/10, and the inverse of y is 1/10. When added the sum is 5/10 or 1/2.

answer: the anser is 3

step-by-step explanation:

c- 2o is equal to 9

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
